Aftermath: The Lives They Chose
The war in the shadows had ended, but the scars it left behind would never fully heal. The truth about the shadow network had been exposed, but dismantling it completely was another battle—one Kaito and the others had no choice but to walk away from.
This is where they are now.
Kaito Tanaka – The Lone Wolf
Kaito never returned to the force. The corruption within the system ran too deep, and he had no interest in being another cog in a broken machine.
Instead, he became a private investigator, working under the radar, helping those caught in the crossfire of criminals and corrupt officials.
Some nights, when he walked the empty streets, he still felt the weight of the past—the gunfights, the betrayals, the blood. But he had learned one thing:
He didn't need the badge to seek justice.
Reina Kisaragi – The Ghost of the Underground
Reina vanished after the final battle.
No one knew where she went.
Some whispered that she had taken down the last remnants of Kyosei's empire on her own. Others believed she had started working as a hired assassin overseas.
But those who truly knew her understood one thing—
Wherever she was, she was still hunting.
For revenge. For closure. For herself.
Toshiro Hayashi – The Quiet Life
Toshiro walked away from the fight entirely. His injuries had been too severe, and his spirit had been broken long before the final battle.
Now, he ran a small ramen shop on the outskirts of the city. It was quiet. Peaceful.
And yet, every time the bell above his door rang, his hand still twitched toward his side—where his gun used to be.
Some wounds never fully healed.
The Ghost General – A War with No End
The Ghost General never stopped fighting.
The underworld still feared his name, but now he worked from the shadows, dismantling what remained of the network that had controlled everything.
He had no interest in a normal life.
There was always another battle. Another mission. Another war.
And so he faded into legend.
Kyosei – A Name That Won't Be Forgotten
Kyosei's fate remained unknown.
Some said he was dead. Others swore they saw him in different parts of the world, still pulling strings, still playing the game.
Whether he lived or died didn't matter.
Because his legacy—the chaos, the war, the bloodshed—would never be forgotten.
The City – A New Dawn?
Crime still existed. Corruption still festered.
But there were whispers of change.
A shift in power.
Perhaps, in the end, the blood they spilled had been for something.
Perhaps not.
Either way, the game had ended.
And those who survived had moved on.
For now.
Final Words
As Kaito stood on a rooftop, staring at the city below, he let out a slow breath.
The past was over.
But he knew better than anyone—
The shadows never really disappear.
They just wait.
THE END.
